I can't make up my mind on what cams!!

I Want to go with comp stage 3 cams, but was wondering how drivable are these cams on the street? like say, is it going to buck in 6th gear at 70mph? and do you lose much low end tq? Was also thinking about the comp stage 2s. But Damn I love the sound of the 3s!

The combo is:

03 Cobra Coupe - Major Mods:
8.8:1 Compression Livernois Stroker
Livernois Stage 3 CNC Heads

they make cams specifically for superchargers i believe they are stage 2....with those stage 3 i didnt see it say it but rocker arms and spring will prolly need upgraded

I thought these were blower cams..stage 3 blower cams.

I was looking at the wrong cam! Below is what I was thinking about going with:

CCA-106460
Valve Lift: .475/.450

Advertised Duration: 273/275

.050 Duration: 238/240

Lobe Separation: 116 Degrees

EXTREME Energy Stage III Camshafts SUPERCHARGED.
* -- MAX Street/Strip Supercharged/Nitrous applications. Requires larger t-body, mass air, injectors and exhaust
* Requires lower gears and custom programming
* Automatics use a 2500+ stall
* New valve springs required
* Rough Idle.

Looks good to me.

well you need valve springs it says right there...i did alot of research on cams i was gonna do them instead of a sc or do them then later get a sc....after all my research i found that the gains arent that impressive ya youll have the sweet idle but is it really worth the money and work....maybe as an alternative if you wanna do engine work port your intake and such

Heads already have springs good to .600 lift.

ok im also comparing that to my 01...you gonna install yourself
